A fantastic trip down after taking the shuttle up to Sunrise, absolutely my favorite route to date in Yosemite. Perfect weather, conditions, everything... and did not see a soul the entire day until reaching Mirror Lake. Will definitely be doing a repeat of this one.

A great trip with a large group! Mandatory swim (or waist-deep wade) below LeConte boulder, found a hornet nest atop the boulder near the rap anchor. This is a beautiful and challenging hike, a must-do and worth repeating.
